T1 have announced they are parting ways with their Super Smash Bros.<\/a> Ultimate player Jason “ANTi” Bates due to his alleged past relationship with a minor.<\/p>\n

ANTi was released on Friday after anonymous allegations against him surfaced on social media. This news comes at a time when many figures in the Smash esports scene are dealing with accusations of sexual misconduct and other wrongdoings dating back several years.<\/p>\n

The allegations against ANTi accuse the 26-year-old of engaging in sexual relations with a minor back in 2016. The unnamed individual who shared her story accused ANTi and other prominent Smash figures, including Ryan “La Luna” Coker-Welch, D’Ron “D1” Maingrette and Richard “Keitaro” King Jr, of having sexual intercourse with her when she was only 15 years of age.<\/p>\n
